Much of Del Amo Boulevard in Lakewood to be closed Wednesday

LAKEWOOD — A section of Del Amo Boulevard will be closed Wednesday while Union Pacific Railroad does repairs on its rail line on the west end of Lakewood.

The closure between Cherry Avenue and Paramount Boulevard will be from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Residents are asked to avoid these intersections, if possible.

Traffic will be limited to local only, meaning persons will be allowed on residential streets that enter and exit Del Amo Boulevard in that area. No traffic will be allowed across the train tracks on Del Amo.

Construction could be delayed or take more than one day to complete. Residents can check www.lakewoodcity.org for any changes to the construction schedule.

For information about the project, call Lupe Valdez of Union Pacific Railroad at 626-935-7617 or Lakewood customer service at 562-866-9771, ext. 2140.
